Aisin Corporation and the BMW Group have agreed on a strategic partnership. The aim of this partnership is a cooperation in the field of build-to-print e-axle production by AISIN based on a BMW Group design. To date, AISIN has received the trust of the BMW Group to develop products that meet customers' needs and expectations and had the honor to supply key products such as automatic transmissions and variable valve timings for BMW Group vehicles.

AISIN and the BMW Group reached this new partnership agreement based on the relationship the two companies cultivated over the years. The e-axle will be produced by AISIN in both China and Europe, planned for installation in BMW Group vehicles in the late 2020s. In preparation for e-axle production related to this agreement, AISIN shall expand its product supply capabilities for electrified and other products by extending one of its plants at AISIN Europe Manufacturing Czech (Czech Republic).
